The angular roughshark (Oxynotus centrina) is a unique, pig-like shark found in the eastern Atlantic, from Norway to South Africa, and in the Mediterranean. Growing to about 1 metre in length, this shark has a distinctive appearance with wide-set eyes, a pink snout, and large nostrils. Its ridged, denticle-covered protrusions over the eyes and elongated spiracles (similar to gills but located between the eye and gill slits) give it an even more recognisable look. Often called a “pig fish” due to the grunt it makes when out of water, it feeds on worms, crustaceans, molluscs, and even shark eggs.
